Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The regularly widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages
